Andesitequarry with a lot ofcavity-filling minerals.

Baron György Majláth opened his firstquarry in 1861, from 1927 the Kopasz Hillquarry was operated as a large-scalemine.

Theandesitequarry is located between Kopasz Hill and Fekete Hill (see coordinates). In a 10-15 m long zone, theandesite isimpregnated withhyalite (opal-AN). In this zone, wonderfulhyalite specimens have been found in 2013, that caused the interest of collectors.

The water-clearhyalites sometimes covercarbonates, mostlyaragonite andcalcite, which cause the covered specimens to show yellow fluorescence under UV-A light beside the strong green fluorescence under UV-C light.

In thequarry explosives are used to excavate the rocks, so most of the specimens are damaged, unfortunately. Also,no collecting is permitted since summer 2015, which makes getting good quality specimens even harder.
